hackers to target voip and im

in a report from messagelabs:-

quote:
those using online phones and instant message services will be prime targets for hackers next year, says one of the world's largest security firms.

i seem to remember reading similar reports last year, so i wouldn't start panicking just yet. that said, i do think the most underestimated market in voip at the moment is security. the company to first put out the equivilent of anti-virus software for sip and iax could become another norton/mcafee.


there's probably some kid in his bedroom right now writing it, and it's probably the same kid that's hacking it.
